God Is Your Shepherd
Dr RJ Sing
“He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.”
Many times we see pictures of Shepherds holding little lambs in their arms. As a Shepherd takes care of flock, so does God take care of His family. Many times in life, we feel that we are alone and that God is so far away. However, this is not the Truth.
The Prophet Isaiah assured the people of Israel that God still wanted to be a Shepherd to them even when they strayed from Him. In Psalms 23, David, who was himself a Shepherd, writes about the Lord as his Shepherd.
God is a Shepherd who cares for His sheep, and His sheep lack nothing. The Shepherds promise is still valid for you today. God cares about you, as a Shepherd cares about his sheep. He will walk with you everyday of your life.
In His arms you are safe, even if you are threatened by the worst possible dangers. He will carry you through the valley of the shadow of death. So, no matter what you are facing, No matter how big your challenges are, always be mindful that your Great Shepherd loves you.
